“Absolutely brilliant. It’s funnier, sadder and cooler on the big screen.” -Empire
Unlock the door to THE APARTMENT and welcome legendary director Billy Wilder (Some Like It Hot) and screenwriter I.A.L. Diamond at their scathing, satirical best. C.C. “Bud” Baxter (Jack Lemmon, at his put-upon best) knows the way to success in business…it’s through the door of his apartment! By providing a perfect hideaway for philandering bosses, the ambitious young employee reaps a series of undeserved promotions. But when Bud lends the key to big boss J.D. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray, Double Indemnity), he not only advances his career, but his own love life as well. For Sheldrake’s mistress is the lovely Fran Kubilek (an effervescent Shirley MacLaine), elevator girl and angel of Bud’s dreams. Convinced that he is the only man for Fran, Bud must make the most important executive decision of his career: lose the girl…or his job. By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, THE APARTMENT won five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. Movie-wise, there has never been anything like it…love-wise, laugh-wise or otherwise-wise!
Cocktail Hour from 6 – 7:30 pm. Film at 7:30 pm.
